6'0", 175lbs, by NHL standards now a days he's small in size and bulk. I believe some people are also clueless who Oscar Klefbom is. He was voted the 2nd best D in the WJC 2yrs ago, before he was injured some people were saying he was the best D playing in the SEL this year, also some have said he was the steal of his draft. I'm not saying he's better then Kuznetsov, but he does have the potential to be a top pair D which the Oilers need.

Washington needs a shake up, Edmonton is still rebuilding. Kuznetsov is already a great player, but he's going to stay in Russia until 2014/2015 season. However, Kuznetsov & Yakupov could form a dangerous scoring threat for years to come. Edmonton has several good pieces behind their Big 5 that could help the Caps right now + picks and prospects. Is there a trade here?

There is no point on doing any trade on HF because its literally if it involves the oilers.

"What would it take to get Mark Fistric to the oilers?"

Start with one of the big 4 or schultz or no deal.

Fistric gets traded for a 3rd rounder.

It doesnt matter who is involved in the trade, it could be a 7th dman, it could be a 4th line center, it could be an overseas prospect, could be a top 6 player and its always one of the big 4 or nothing.

Yakupov couldn't even score more than 10 goals so by your logic, Kuz>Yak.

Yak also played almost 30 less games then Kuznetsov

This thread went off the rails real quick.

Edmonton laughs, then hangs up. There really is no deal that would work between these twos teams involving Kuznetsov, Washington wants and rightfully so a top player for Kuznetsov if they were to trade him, only top players Edmonton have is the big 5 and Kuznetsov (right now) is not worth them so really there is no deal that could be made

To be fair, the majority of Edmonton offers see them getting a very good player and saying the big 5 are untouchable.

I haven't made any trade proposals. But please, correct me if I'm wrong. I just asked is there a trade here.

Oilers are in the middle of a rebuild. IMO it's worth the risk. Edmonton should be thinking in long term. And by the way, Kuznetsov isn't small. He's roughly as tall as Grigorenko.

Funny, I thought this was the perfect scenario to move a non-roster player for several good pieces. I thought GMGM & AO aren't interested in a mini-rebuild but want to make the playoffs this year and the next. But I guess I was wrong. Surely GMGM & AO can afford waiting at least 2 more years for Kuznetsov and then 1-2 more to be competitive again. How silly of me. I'll get me coat...
